This is where things start to get serious for Vacuum Tube Line Stages. In the VTL range the TL-5.5 is best suited in my opinion to driving MB-125 Monoblocks or a ST-150 Stereo Power Amplifier. For a no-compromise economically friendly vacuum tube Line Stage solution for your system, I recommend you strongly consider the TL-5.5.

The TL-5.5 as VTL have advised is all tube Dual Mono Line Stage designed for maximum performance from a single ended line source.
